Galway Bay fm - Sports

This Thursday night, the Annual Connacht Clan Table Quiz takes place once again in Murty Rabbitts in Forster Street, Galway. 

The Clan Quiz raises money every year for a deserving charity or organisation and this year the money will go to the Irish Motor Neurone Disease Association. 

Motor Neurone Disease (MND) is a progressive neurological condition that attacks the motor neurones, or nerves, in the brain and spinal cord.

MND strikes people of all ages and while currently there is no cure, symptoms can be managed to help the person achieve the best possible quality of life.

Shane Mulryan and Brian O'Connor of the Connacht Clan spoke to John Mulligan and Shane first explained how they decided on the IMNDA.

In the second hour:

George was joined by Darren Kelly and Sean Carley to look at the weekend's action in Gaelic Games and soccer;

Michael Creaven (Honourary President of the Galway GAA Club in New York) and Tommy Joe Gilmore (former player with Galway and Connemara Gaels in New York) talk about the dedication to create a trophy for the New York football championship in memory of Connemara Gaels' Jackie Sammon.

And William Davies looks back on Connacht's victory over Ospreys in the BKT United Rugby Championship.

This week's special guest on 'Over The Line' was Olympian and World rowing champion Fiona Murtagh.

She chatted about how she got into the sport, getting called up to the national elite squad, the experience of going to Tokyo and eventually choosing to go solo in the Singles Sculls.

Fiona chatted to Galway Bay FM's George McDonagh.
